Ian Skelly presents 20th-century ballet music. Including Bartok: Ballet Music (The Wooden Prince). Stravinsky: Suite (Le baiser de la fee). Plus Haydn: Winter (The Seasons).

Great Ballets of the Twentieth Century.
Presented by Ian Skelly.

In the final programme this week, Bartok's seldom-heard pantomime ballet The Wooden Prince, written during the First World War. The dark colours of Bartok's enormous orchestra seem to be light years away from the gossamer textures of The Fairy's Kiss, Stravinsky's 1928 homage to his hero, Tchaikovsky.
